RURAL - (PHOTOGRAPHY SERIES)

Tcats.jpg


Fifty years ago, when I was just a five-year-old boy, Montalbán was a much more rural place than it is now. I remember waking up and peeking out of a window to see droves of cattle passing through the streets. I also remember how common it was to see people arriving from the mountains on mules or horses, bringing pack trains of donkeys loaded with their harvests to sell or trade for supplies at the small local stores. Much of this has changed today; it's no longer so common to see cows in the streets or people on horses and mules. However, some of those bucolic scenes can still be seen in the streets, and some of my photographic documentation bears witness to this. But what hasn't changed in half a century is the miracle of being able to leave the town of Montalbán and almost immediately find yourself immersed in a charming and captivating rural landscape... These photos, for example, I took just a 20-minute walk from my house, during one of those foggy mornings that seem to accentuate the air of bygone times that I find there...

Cincuenta años atrás, cuando yo era un niño de apenas 5 años, Montalbán era un lugar mucho más rural que ahora. Recuerdo de mi temprana juventud, despertar y asomar mi cabeza por una ventana para ver arreos de vacas pasar por las calles. También recuero lo común que era ver personas llegar desde la montañas a lomos de mula o caballos, trayendo arreos de asnos cargados con sus cosechas para venderlas o cambiar parte de ellas por insumos en los pequeños abastos locales... Mucho de esto ha cambiado hoy por hoy, ya no es tan común ver vacas en las calles o gente a lomos de caballos y mulas. Sin embargo, se siguen viendo algunas de esas escenas bucólicas en las calles y parte de mi trabajo de registro fotográfico así lo atestigua. Pero, lo que sí no ha cambiado en medio siglo, es el milagro de poder alejarse del casco urbano de Montalbán y prácticamente de inmediato encontrarse inmerso en una ruralidad encantadora y avasallante... Estas fotos, por ejemplo, las hice apenas a unos 20 minutos a pie de mi casa, durante una de esas mañanas con niebla las cuales parecen acentuar todo ese aire de tiempo pasado que allí encuentro...

    The chickens are so cute, and the pictures of the spiderwebs look fantastic. Fifty years ago, hehehe... oh, I don't know, I think I was somewhere, but not on this planet, or maybe I was, I don't know, hehehe.
